Come empty.
Leave overflowing.

EXCEL 2026: Filled to Pour. A weekend set apart for the women who give until there is nothing left — to be refilled by His Spirit, restored in His presence, and released to pour again.

EXCEL 2026 begins in…

Friday 4 September 2026 · The Hayes Conference Centre, Derbyshire

Reserve before they're gone

You pour out everything.

Into your family. Your work. Your ministry. Your church. You are the one everyone leans on — the strong one, the faithful one, the one who somehow always finds more to give.

But even the deepest well runs dry. EXCEL 2026 is your invitation to come away, lay it all down, and be filled again. Not only so you can rest — though you will — but so you can go home overflowing, with more than enough to pour out once more.

You cannot pour from an empty cup. So come, and be filled.

What you'll carry home

A weekend that changes the season ahead

This is more than a getaway. It's a holy reset — and you'll feel the difference long after you leave.

i.

Refreshed

Lay down the weight you've been carrying. Breathe. Rest in His presence with nothing to perform and no one to fix.

ii.

Restored

Let the Holy Spirit mend what has worn thin — bringing healing, clarity, and renewed strength for what's next.

iii.

Empowered

Receive fresh vision and boldness for your purpose, your calling, your family, and the marketplace.

iv.

Released

Go home full. Pour into the people and places God has entrusted to you — from a place of overflow, not depletion.

The Heartbeat of EXCEL 2026

Filled to Pour

A holy exchange: we come to receive so that we can give. Filled by His Spirit — so His Spirit can flow through us to a world in need.

Deuteronomy 28:13
"The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail…"

Rise into the place of authority and influence God has prepared for you.

Philippians 1:10
"So that you may be able to discern what is best…"

Receive the wisdom to know what truly matters — and the grace to excel in it.

Acts 2:17
"I will pour out my Spirit on all people…"

Position yourself for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit over your life.

The shape of the weekend

Three days, unhurried

Friday

Arrive & Exhale

Check in from 3pm, lay down the week, and gather for a Spirit-filled evening of worship and welcome.

Saturday

Soak & Be Filled

A full day in His presence — teaching, prayer, ministry, deep fellowship, and time to simply rest.

Sunday

Sent Out Full

A powerful closing celebration — then home you go, refilled, restored, and ready to pour again.

An indicative flow — the Holy Spirit always has the final say.

Voices

Why women come — and come back

First-timers and faithful returners alike leave saying the same thing: this is where they're met by God.

First visit
I almost didn't come — I knew no one. By Saturday I was praying with women who felt like sisters I'd known for years. I have never felt so welcomed, or so seen.
FA first-time delegate
Ministry leader
I arrived running on empty, pouring out for everyone but myself. I left lighter, fuller, and finally able to breathe. I didn't realise how much I needed it until I was there.
MA busy mum & ministry leader
3rd year
I keep coming back because I always leave changed. Whatever I'm carrying when I arrive, God meets me here — and I carry His presence all the way home.

Sisterhood

You won't do this alone

Come as a stranger, leave as a sister. EXCEL is as much about the women beside you as the God above you — real conversations, shared tears, deep laughter, and friendships that outlast the weekend.

Come on your own — you'll never be left alone
Bring a friend, a daughter, a mother — all welcome
Leave with a sisterhood that carries you all year

Before you ask

Your questions, answered

Every woman who needs to be refreshed and refilled — whether you're part of KWOW or coming for the very first time. Members, guests, friends, families and believers are all warmly welcome. If you give a lot of yourself to others, this weekend is for you.

Think of it less as a cost and more as an investment in the one person you rarely prioritise — you. The full weekend includes two nights' accommodation and the entire retreat experience. And if the full weekend isn't right for you this year, you're just as welcome with the One Night package (£125) or a Day Delegate pass (£50). There's a way for everyone to say yes.

That feeling is exactly why you need this. The most loving thing you can do for the people who depend on you is to come back full instead of running on empty. Give yourself permission for these few days — your family will meet a refreshed, restored version of you on Sunday.

Not for long. This is a sisterhood, and warmth is who we are. Many women arrive on their own and leave with friendships that carry them through the year. You'll be welcomed, looked after, and never left standing alone.

A beautiful rhythm of rest, Spirit-led worship, prayer and intercession, practical teaching, soaking, fellowship, and quiet space to hear from God. Time to be ministered to — and time to simply breathe. Rest. Reflect. Reconnect.
